Is a doctor's job more important than a teacher's? Is a teacher's job more important than a bus driver's? Is a dishwasher's job more important than that of a woman who sews dresses?
How do you determine how important a job is? Obviously, some people take home bigger salaries than others: is that how job importance is rated?
In the world today, there are many jobs. You have hundreds of jobs in the school I am sitting in right now. Not only do you have plenty of teachers, but you have the principal, janitors, lunch ladies, etc. I, personally, do not think that any one person’s job is more important than another person. If you got rid of one job, such as the janitors, our school would be filthy. If you got rid of the lunch ladies, we would all be starving. If you eliminate one group, it messes up the whole order and sanity in the building. When you compare doctors versus teachers, some may say that doctors have a more important job. I think that’s nonsense. If those doctors never had teachers, they wouldn’t be doctors. They need their teachers to educate them to be a doctor, so therefore they would be useless without their teachers. And if teachers didn’t have doctors, they could be suffering a disease that they don’t know how to fix. And how would they get better? They wouldn’t. Everyone in the world and every job is a circle of life, and if you take out anyone than it ruins the order. When you compare a teacher and a bus driver, you have to think: how would students get to school if there was no teacher? And where would the bus drivers drive the children if there were no teachers? Everyone needs each other. Say you compared construction workers and professors at a college. People might think that the professor is more important because he is fully educated, probably has multiple degrees, and graduated to become someone who educates for life. That, no doubt, is an awesome job and he or she deserves a lot of praise for it. But to leave out the construction worker is wrong. That construction man worked his ass off to build a place for all those people to further their education at. He made a home to hundreds, maybe thousands, of students, teachers, administrators, counselors, janitors, prospective educators, and he needs to get recognized for all that work he put in. No one can be put down for the work that they do, because no matter what when people try it should be good enough for the world, and no one should judge them based off the job that they have. No one should be the judge of anyone else, so I can not judge any one by their occupation. My grandfather used to tell my dad that “the world needs ditch diggers, too.” When my father told me this, it sounded kind of mean and it was worded in a way that would probably come off as offensive, but I think that he meant that there is no job too small and no job that is unimportant.
